'… The Politics of Industrial Collaboration [during World War II] offers an original and significant contribution to our understanding of the nature, power, and limits of German exploitation of French industrial resources during the Occupation. It is particularly rewarding in its analysis of the intricate negotiations between Ford firms, French state administrators, and the German armaments officials who were seeking to maximize the French contribution to the German war effort.' H-Diplo Roundtable Reviews
'The Canadian historians Talbot Imlay and Martin Horn have produced a pathbreaking study of industrial collaborationism during World War II … Imlay and Horn have produced an excellent study that allows us to better understand how French and American automotive firms operated during the Nazi occupation. It is a significant contribution to the international historiography that will help stimulate scholarly interest in the economic history of World War II and in how big business operated under the Nazi regime.'
